Matt Conder’s “most difficult build” was this Peterbilt 379 with a matching propane tank. This truck had opening doors, wooden floorboards in the cab and a difficult paint scheme.

Originally a Die-Cast Promotions Peterbilt 389, Matt Conder customized this beautiful 1/64 scale model as a “random” build from his fertile imagination.

Matt Conder built this custom Peterbilt for a retired trucker who lives near him. He sold his full-size truck and wanted a replica to remember it. The trucker was amazed to see his detailed model.

This stunning model is a M2 fire truck that Matt Conder customized and repainted with black cherry paint. The bed was scratch built from styrene plastic sheeting, and the car is a GreenLight Collectibles 1957 Chevy.
